Rates now at $10 a day, and soon to be nearly $11 with the increase proposed and higher GST are my single biggest item of household expenditure. When I have to rely on the pension 25% of it will be needed for the rates alone. How are you going to stimulate growth to ensure a wealthier Wellington with businesses contributing their fair share ?

I may not be adverse to NZ politics but one thing I do know is visibility and the sustainability of the image it creates. Then again, I could be wrong.
